After Bai Minghe returned home, he saw that Cheng Kai was busy talking about the details of the certification of grain in the Ministry of War.

In the guards around the capital, they need to bring back the food themselves. In this way, you can send more polished rice as freight, and when you transport this piece, you can get some good things from your respective health offices.

"Become an adult!" Bai Minghe walked to Cheng Kai's side.

Cheng Kai is also a seventh-grade official, and there is nothing wrong with the white-named crane calling Cheng an adult.

Cheng Kai, who was busy, got up and saluted back: "Lord Bai." ”

"Lord Cheng, this officer thinks that after the battle of Tumubao, these soldiers were able to return to the army, or the dead and wounded were able to be compensated. It's always a gift of long live, whether to let the guards make arrangements, send some sergeants as representatives, and then let the states and counties also make an arrangement, so that some of the original soldiers and captains who originally fled to the mountains and forests as bandits, and this time abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, also selected some representatives, and asked them to come to the capital to thank Banzai. ”

When Cheng Kai heard this, he thought about it and asked, "Lord Bai, didn't there be many soldiers in the capital a few days ago to thank you. was persuaded to go back by Shuntianfu Yin. ”

"These are two different things, last time there were too many people and too scattered. This time, pick some special ones, and then ask them to prepare some local specialties that are not necessarily valuable, but have local specialties, as well as some small gifts to express their hearts. It's like visiting the elders during the New Year, do your part. ”

"This ......" Cheng Kai hesitated, in the eyes of the imperial historians, this kind of thing is to sell fame.

Bai Minghe said again: "Sue them, everyone who comes will make up ten taels of silver, and those who are far away will add five taels." The number of people should not be too large, the number one hundred and ten people will be enough. But it must be distinctive. ”

"The imperial historians know, I'm afraid it's another thing!" Cheng Kai was still hesitant.

"Don't worry!" Bai Minghe lowered his voice: "They can't take care of it." Soon there will be a big event that will make the imperial historians write a notebook until their fingers hurt! ”

"Okay!" Cheng Kai reluctantly agreed.

After Cheng Kai said yes here and explained some details. The white crane returned to the study.

When I entered the study, I saw Cheng Jing sitting at his desk in the study, looking at the books on his desk. It was a book of Analects annotated by Bai Minghe himself, and he didn't dare to say that it was profound, but more just his own understanding.

Bai Minghe looked back at the door, then at Cheng Jing, and then pointed outside.

Cheng Jing smiled: "I'll come, he doesn't know." I'm here for you, and I have nothing to do with him! "Cheng Jing came to Baifu and did not sue Cheng Kai. I didn't go to see Cheng Kai either.

"I said that I will be the manager, after all, it is your son."

"I forget him, so that I can live better." Cheng Jing is telling the truth, no matter the choice he made before, or his identity at this time, letting people know that Cheng Kai is his son will bring endless trouble to Cheng Kai and will also smear his life.

Bai Minghe sighed softly, the bond between father and son is not so easy to break.

Sit in front of Cheng Jing. When he was about to persuade a few more words, Cheng Jing said: "Bai Minghe, do you know that someone around you has recorded your affairs and filed them in the East Factory?" ”

"Yes, that's a good thing!" Shira-naka replied very bluntly.

"Good thing. You are the first person in Daming to say that being monitored by Dongchang is still a good thing, unique! ”

Bai Minghe shrugged his shoulders: "It's really a good thing. I have made a qiē, long live can soon know. It's a testament to Banzai's trust in me, and it's for me to have this kind of surveillance. Equivalent to a kind of protection. What I do is walk on the beach with my shoes on, and when I accidentally get my shoes wet. There is this protection in. I always keep an eye on the sea. And when it matters, someone can even pull me so that I don't actually step into the water. ”

Cheng Jing clapped his hands a few times: "A very clever theory, but no one has ever thought of it." ”

"It's just, don't come to the room!" After Bai Minghe emphasized, Cheng Jing smiled heartily. I don't know how many years Cheng Jing hasn't laughed like this.

"You're really very set."

"Manager Cheng is here, won't he just come to me and tell me that someone is spying on me!" Shira-chan Crane asked.

Cheng Jing shook his head: "No, this kind of trivial matter is too boring. It's just that a lot of things will happen in the capital recently, and the people who arranged them are not to spy on you, but to know how you planned. It's not that I'm worried that I'm going to fail, it's just that Banzai Ye is interested in knowing the details of this matter, and that feeling of sudden realization, Banzai has praised you many times! ”

"Long live the common sense!" The white crane got up solemnly and saluted in the direction of the palace.

"There is only one piece, long live incomprehensible. Let me ask you! ”

"Mr. Cheng, please speak!"

"You opened your mouth to the people of the Shaanxi merchant gang and dared to accept their goods for 20 million taels of silver. You know that even if all the taxes paid by Daming in the next year are converted into silver, they are far from reaching this amount, and the actual amount of silver converted into the treasury is only about 13 million taels, and more of them have been used up before they are transported to the capital. The balance of the treasury last year was only 190,000 taels of silver and more than 1 million stone of grain, and you opened your mouth to be 20 million taels. ”

Cheng Jing asked standing up, and his tone was very strict.

used his tone, but the content of the question was what Zhu Qiyu wanted to know.

Bai Minghe asked first: "Can Manager Cheng sit down?" It's stressing me out like this, it's not a matter of answering questions, it's a very complicated plan. ”

"Yes!" Cheng Jing is not the kind of person who rigidly abides by the rules, what generation of the Son of Heaven asks the other party to kneel down and so on.

His purpose is to know the truth.

"First of all, I can't come up with 20,000,000 taels of silver. The figure that can really be taken will not exceed three million taels of silver for smashing the pot and selling iron. These silver taels also include the part that may be saved in the capital at the moment. But I was able to eat twenty million taels of silver. ”

Cheng Jing motioned for Bai Minghe to stop, and he grinded on Bai Minghe's desk to prepare the paper.

After seeing that Cheng Jing was ready, Bai Minghe continued to preach.

"Goods are not the same as silver. Mr. Cheng, please keep the number I said next. Bai Minghe was very serious, and Cheng Jing nodded after hearing it: "Long live naturally you have to know, Director Jin and Governor Xing probably can't hide it, Gonggong Cai has to see what your lord means, and the rest of the people don't have a long live nod, it's impossible to know." ”

"Yes!" Bai Minghe said that it is impossible for these people to hide it.

"The food I can really eat every year should be about 13 million taels this year. After all, it is impossible for their goods to carry tens of millions of taels of silver in a day, and they must be shipped in batches. Then next year, I will be able to eat 30,000,000,000 taels of silver, and in the third year I will be able to have 35,000,000,000 taels. If you want to increase it in the fourth year, you need to use some extraordinary measures. ”

"How much profit will there be for 35 million taels of silver?" Cheng Jing is worthy of reading poetry and books, and he asked the idea at once.

Shirana Crane smiled.

Cheng Jing also smiled, he saw the pride on Bai Minghe's face.

Bai Minghe stretched out three fingers, and Cheng Jing stood up in a flash. In his opinion, the meaning of the white crane is 30 million taels of profit, you must know that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, the three achievements of the total cost of business are extremely strong, only the salt industry is an exception, salt can reach three times the profit, except for salt, iron and copper are not good.

"Thirty million taels, you dare to say that you will take it first, and the miscellaneous family will believe it. With this number of silver taels, you can step on the grassland. Show the majesty of the Han and Tang Dynasties again! ”

"Manager Cheng underestimated my white name crane, I prefer to use another word to describe it, which is three hundred percent!"

Scores are no longer an unfamiliar word in Daming, and those who have read books basically know it. It's just that the percentage appears later, and Cheng Jing can understand the words of the white crane.

Cheng Jing was also calculating in his heart.

"Give the merchant two to three percent of the net profit. The cost of transportation is 10% to 20% depending on the value of the goods. You can use the sea ship and the sergeant of Guangdong, and the cost of grain and ship repair can account for 20%. If you cooperate with Nanzhang and Siam, they will also swallow some profits, then the net profits in your hands should be close to 70 million taels a year after three years. ”

Bai Minghe didn't answer, what he said in his heart was three times the net profit, but he couldn't say it full.

After Cheng Jing finished speaking, Bai Minghe said: "The profit club has become thinner with time, but the total number of shipments is rising. So the total profit should not decrease. Silk is a very rare thing in Nanzhang, but after a boat pulls over, there are many things, and it will naturally be cheap, and it will slowly reach a normal price, and the profit will reach the normal value. ”

There is truth in this statement, and it is far-sighted. Then on the other hand, such as agarwood, if there is a lot of agarwood in the capital, the natural price will also drop, and it will be several times the profit over time to the normal profit! ”

"Yes, Cheng is in charge of Gaojian, this is a process that is slowly moving towards normal."

Cheng Jing wrote down the words of the white crane.

"Well, what about a few years from now?" Cheng Jing asked again.

"It can be developed again, at that time, only ask for Banzai to give me some privileges, such as letting me clean up some disobedient small states, under the huge profits, there will definitely be people who want to jam my neck, such as the Sriwijaya in Malacca, Luzon on the east side of the South China Sea, and the ambitious Wa Kingdom!"

Cheng Jing didn't dare to say this, Bai Minghe is going to war.

Bai Minghe will not give up: "Cheng is in charge, think about it." Banzai was eating breakfast, and someone dared to reach out and take away the delicious things on the Banzai table, leaving only Banzai for some ordinary meals. What do you think, what do you want me to do with the white crane, only to clean up and dare to stretch out his claws, stretch out his left claws and cut his right claws together! ”

"This matter needs to be decided by the Lord of Long Live himself!"

Bai Minghe believed that these words reached the ears of Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty, and the young and vigorous emperor dared to give himself a special decree.

Cheng Jing had another worry in his heart, he was not afraid that Bai Minghe would not hand over the silver to the inner treasury, but that he was afraid that the merchants, important ministers, and clans of the Ming Dynasty would have bad thoughts about this huge profit. (To be continued......)
